Mirror House - a new project from Doug Aitken

This mirror house is not the first project of this kind of architect Doug Aitken. This is not the first time he has experimented with mirrored walls. Earlier in one of California's sunny valleys, he had already erected a house that was completely covered in mirrors.
As for the design by Mirage Gstaad, it really looks amazing. Huge mirror panels are used here as walls. They make the building almost invisible: a mirrored house merges with the snow-capped mountains.
But the surprises do not end there. Due to the special angle of inclination of the walls and the roof, the sunlight that enters inside creates the effect of a kaleidoscope. Inside it is light, spacious and very unusual.
This art object, like many other works by Doug Aitken, is part of a large-scale exhibition, which will bring together 15 contemporary designers and architects.
